Robert Heatley Stand / Brettie's Kiss of Death
Saints by 5 goals.....there's no more certain result this coming weekend. Saints supporters don't rate their team either, but they do against us....and with some justification too.

Riewoldt will kick a lazy 4 at least, Kosi & Milne 3 apiece, Milera will play one of his 2 good games of the year, Saad will come in and kick at least 2, Hayes a lazy 35+ possessions, Dal Santo a lazy 30+, Farren Ray will look magnificent, Jack Steven will run around like a Stawell Gift winner, Rhys Stanley will single handily fend off our forward talls, McEvoy will take 10+ contested marks everywhere, Clint Jones keep Murphy to about 10 possessions......and on and on and on it goes......

Result Carlton win

Surely another big Friday night game = another disappoitning loss.....why change the trend now?! :'(

Result Carlton win


I'd like to take this opportunity to congratulate Charlie Dixon on a career-best game tomorrow; assuming he's got Jamo on him......

Result Carlton win

I'm not going to be confident until Brettie gives Freo the kiss of death.

Sorry mbb.....I've got nothing but good feelings about this week. Win this and we make the 8 on merit......very good feelings......

Result Carlton loss

Bulldogs game Brettstar made no prediction.

Result Carlton loss.

Totally agree PI2C - this is the first time in many, many years whereby we're playing a Richmond team that is CLEARLY better than us.....and substantially so. Anyone who even considers us to be a chance, simply based on recent past performances, you're simply not being realistic in any way, shape or form. I like the changes Mick has made considering the injuries, really like them, but it still won't change the fact that the Tigers are on a totally different level to us in ability, development & confidence. It could get real ugly tomorrow....expect Hendo to return to defence, seeing as Jamo continues his spud-like form.

Result Carlton win.

Essendon game no prediction made

Result Carlton Loss

No interest in this game whatsoever, pretty sure another loss is coming, hoping like hell the Roos get over the line, then the finals get interesting....and that's how it should be. Any other scenario (i.e. us participating in September) makes our elimination final a joke.

Maddd! Richmond at the G, with Juddy it was meant to be!

Friggin' delusional.....

Result Carlton win and make the finals.

Bit of an article on Steve Morris of Richmond in the Sun today and its details his work on opposing small forwards...Eddie in two games only managed 18 disposals and 1 goal on Morris. Not good enough for a man wanting 600k a year and Eddie needs to deliver on Sunday for us to win...

In what will most probably be his last ever appearance in Navy Blue......

Result Carlton win and Betts stars.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: RD 21: Richmond v Carlton (Pre-game Prayers)
In a rather bizarre way, winning would be a sad indictment on the effort in recent games.
If they can get over the tigers it will demonstrate that it's more about attitude than ability.

Blues by 24 ;D

I thought we gave a solid effort against Freo, they were just too classy and we won 3 in a row before that. Our effort against the dogs was poor but it must be noted they have vastly improved as the season has gone on, their last 4 weeks has seen them beat Carlton and West Coast plus very competitive efforts against the Hawks and Swans.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
rd 4 this year played probably his best game for the club against the Eagles.

rd 5 tight hammy against the dees.

rd 6 tears it against the saints.

struggled since.

Sorry I forgot again injuries don't count this year.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Malthouse wouldn't be telling him to shirt contests and give up and not chase. Yarran's issues are his own issues. Friends of mine don't believe me when I say Yarran is probably the quickest at the club because they've probably never seen him sprint.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
I respect Kingy and Lynchy's opinions but I'm sure they don't watch every game of football played so it only makes sense that I would have seen more of Yarran they did. Come to think of it weren't you overseas a couple of years ago?

Looking at the best and fairest for 2011 he finished 10th so that sits about right with my memory of how he played, middle of the road and that was his best year.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
I don't recall Yarran being close to All Australian ever.

Betts should have been All Australian last year but has had injuries/suspension this year, oh I forgot Malthouse has no injuries.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Marc Murphy launches a defence of his season and vows to break free of tags
What's there to not understand about Yarran? He's not playing HBF. Don't you mean you don't understand why we've adopted this method and Yazz isn't playing off half back?

I never stated Yarran was playing off the HBF, and yes the rest of what you wrote is what I mean!

So the question becomes a chicken and egg scenario. Is Yarran not off HBF because of his form slump, or is his form slump because he is not off the HBF?

Yarran got completely exposed in the preseason final and Mick will never play him there again.

Got no comment about Saturday night? Typical.

Got no comment about Yarrans mark vs North? Typical. I guess your hypocrisy extends far beyond just Yarran/Murphy.

Laughable I tell ya.

It was a nice mark. Got any footage of him going in hard for the ball? Just one instance, I'll give you a month to find it.

Robert Heatley Stand / Re: Chris Yarran has gone backwards.
Let's get back to the fact that you label Yarran a softy but say Murphy isn't. Highlights exactly what some of us have been trying to say, yet somehow it's Yarrans fault and not the captains who really should be setting the example. One is 22 and immature, the other is 26, played over 150 games and captain of our club. Hypocrite much? Double standards at all? It's hard to take anyone with this thought process seriously.

Got no comment about Saturday night? Typical.

My thoughts on Murphy is he isn't the hardest bloke going around. He doesn't relish the physical contest like Judd or McLean but when it's his time to go he will even if it goes against his natural instincts.

Yarran is talented but is just about the biggest squib in the AFL and he's lazy to boot.

Comparing the two is laughable.

Next time you want to talk about facts about what I've said quote me.
